Fake smiles.

Just because I always try to smile,
Doesn't mean I'm always happy.
Just because I always laugh,
Doesn't mean it's always funny.
Just because I try to be nice all the time,
Doesn't mean it's easy.
Just because I seem joyful,
Doesn't mean my life is perfect.
Your mood affects others,
And it just means I put your happiness before mine.
